Decent Essays
Humans, surprisingly, weren’t originated in the americas! In fact, it wasn’t till the ice age until they even found themselves in just one of the americas. So how did they even get to the americas without boats? Well, it needed time, but the ice age introduced us to Land Bridges. They were pieces of hidden land, exposed during the ice age. But how were they even exposed? During the ice age, because of the lack of heat, water levels dropped due to the absence of rain. Being lowered about 400 feet, it exposed land under the water, known as the Land Bridges. This is how they found america.

So where did humans originate in the first place? Humans originally were from Africa which is coincidental because Africa has the best climate for early

    Australopithecus africanus In the greatest debate of anthropology lies the all consuming desire to know where we as humans come from. Who were our ancestors and what made them so different from us? It is debated if Australopithecus africanus or Australopithecus afarensis is the direct ancestor to the genus homo. Through critical evaluation of the features of the skeleton, diet and dentition, and use of bipedality, it is evident that A. africanus is a direct ancestor to modern humans while still possessing features from both modern humans and previous hominins. What makes A. africanus primarily more human-like than other australopithecines are its teeth and premolars.…

    Evidence shows the humans all came from East Africa and migrated out towards the other continents. There are two possible theories that historians focus on, which are referred to as the multi-regional hypothesis and the out-of-Africa theory. The multi-regional hypothesis states that one species of humans traveled around the world and broke off into groups, evolving differently. This could be an option because of an improvement in technology or new land bridges being formed. The neanderthals also might have wandered off and accidentally found themselves in new land.…

    Answering where everything in the world comes from, including human beings, is a perplexing question that has been thought about for centuries. Today, there are two answers to this question; one is founded in religion, and another in science. Scientists have developed the theory of Evolution to answer how all species come into being, and the theory of the Big Bang to answer how the universe itself came into being. The theory of Evolution came from Charles Darwin and other biologists. It states that species evolve over thousands of years through the process of natural selection.…

    Understanding the spread of early modern humans has been a question many anthropologists and archeologists have been try to answer. There are two main theories discussing the spread of early modern humans: Out of Africa Theory and Multiregional Evolution Theory. The Out of Africa Theory suggests that Homo erectus evolved into Homo sapiens in Africa, and after the evolution, they ventured out of Africa and dispersed to all around the world. The Multiregional Evolution Theory suggests that Homo erectus ventured out of Africa and then evolved into modern man in several different locations throughout the world. These two theories both try to offer an understanding of how and when modern humans evolved and dispersed across the world, but in order…

    Introduction: The origin of anatomically modern humans and the method of their arrival to the Americas is a topic which has been studied as far back as 1590 when the Jesuit Friar Jose de Acosta suggested that the populations of America emigrated from Asia via land (Mangan, 2002). This theory was simply based on Acosta’s observations of Mexican populations and had no other evidence to back up his theory. Later, it was suggested that the first anatomically modern humans to arrive in the Americas did so by crossing a land bridge that existed between northeast Asia and northwest North America (Geobel et al., 2006; Sanchez et al., 2014; Haynes, 2005). It was first suggested by Hopkins (1967), that this land bridge formed during the last glacial maximum (~50kya-15kya) and that the first migrants arrived ~13.5 kya.…

    TO THE FUTURE YET UNBORN The human race has evolved; sifting through histories and generations. A school of thought believe it all started somewhere in the Middle-East called The Garden of Eden; and another body of knowledge think human evolved from the apes. Whichever way it is, man is not where he used to be. The transition from the creation to the ‘prehistory’, through the Stone Age, the Greco-Roman, the industrial revolution, the Cold War, the conspiracy theories, the Big Data, the Information Age and the present day Nuclear Age has cost the world billions of years in evolution.…

    The field of Anthropology is a robust and eclectic field of study that covers virtually all aspects of human existence, but focuses on social and cultural development. Its scope extends from the analysis of the oldest fossil records, tools, artifacts and evidences of society and culture to tell us hopefully the complete story of humanity. In recent years, the field has undoubtedly been reshaped as it adapts to the changes in advancements of technology and scientific instruments, which have allowed anthropologists to make new discoveries and rewrite the human story yet again, while simultaneously gleaning insight into our possible future. The most important discoveries in anthropology come from evolutionary anthropology and the anthropology of technology.…

    There are many types of evidence used throughout studies to discover where we first originated from these can include; palaeontology studies, geographical distribution, comparative anatomy. The two contrasting theories both present well evidenced arguments, however through the process of analysing the similarities and differences it is evident that the Out of Africa theory is far superior to the Multiregional theory at this point in time. While it it understood that the evolutionary debate may never be solved, more conclusive evidence and analysis must be completed to reach a better understanding regarding where we come from and how we evolved. At this time the evidence and simply the argument for the Out of Africa theory is more believable and more supported as to how modern humans came to…
